– Diverse and dynamic: Increasing multiplicity at UNTITLED Miami, by Michael Anthony Farley, BMORE Art, dec. 5 2019:

“Special Project: Coral Projects, Everglades Art Lab presented by Benrubi Gallery, a collaboration between Vanessa Albury, Rachel Frank, Thale Fastvold, Tanja Thorjussen, with Reverend Houston Cypress of Love the Everglades.

These artists all made work in and about the Everglades, and here they’re showing mainly video documentation, an installation of local plants, and some small photos and ceramics. Apparently a highlight for the artists in their swampy project was an ibis bird interacting with the sculptures! Next, they’re planning an underwater exhibition in Jamaica.”

– The Guardian / Nadja Sayej writes about Miami Art week 2019:

“The climate emergency is making a statement at the art fair circuit, pointing fingers at yachts, the luxury lifestyle, automobile pollution and water bottles. But is it sellable? One curator says that protest art isn’t commercial but artists have invested their time regardless. As the Norwegian artist Thale Fastvold recently said: “Science has a communication problem that art can solve.” Here are some artworks doing that precisely.”

– Tommy Olsson reviews LOCUS Bee Sanctuary – Dagny Juel’s Hage, Sept 2019: Forfatternes Klimaaksjon Buzzwords – deres funksjon og betydning

“Dagny Juel’s hage – for å komme til saken – er noe større, arrangert annerledes, og muligens litt vanskeligere å overse der den står plassert. Blomsterkassene danner en åpen kvadratur, slik at man blir omringet av blomster – og bier – hvis man beveger seg inn i begivenhetenes sentrum. Bruddstykker av Dagny Juel’s I Tusmørket står å lese mellom blomstene – man kan ane noe av bakgrunnen til hvorfor litteraturanmeldere noen ganger benytter seg av termen «blomstrete språk», men i ytterste konsekvens utfordre forståelsen av vår egen plass i verden. Biene ville, likt resten av planeten, strengt tatt ikke hatt veldig vondt hvis menneskeheten ble radert vekk, men vi er avgjort i trøbbel hvis biene blir borte. Det meste her henger sammen, men mennesket er i beste fall en slags blindtarm – med et språk som ikke gir noen mening for andre arter, som ikke vil savne hverken oss eller samtidskunsten vår etter at vi har tatt kvelden og den siste som går slukker lyset etter seg. Men så er det altså sånne ting som dette, virkelige møtepunkter, hvor menneskets faktiske forankring i omstendighetene gnis inn. At vi egentlig er her for å passe på planeten og de andre dyrene som bor på den. Og det gjelder også de sjeldne blomstene av oss selv. Sånne som Dagny Juel f.eks.“
